[Project_owners] Thunderbird addon not updated on addons.mozilla.org

[Niko Berger]

Good idea, i included that information too... I nothing happens until 
mid next week I will just delete the extension and reupload it... I 
already talked on #addons with a few ppl and it seems that my extension 
has fallen through an update (actually it seems that most thunderbird 
extensions have a similar problem if you take a look at all those 
extensions haven versions from November 30, 1999 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/browse/type:1/cat:23?show=20)

I really wonder whom to contact in this matter... (wrote an email to my 
last editor who approved an update: Mike Shaver - lets see what comes 
out there)

any further ideas are GREATLY appreciated :)
